Festival Fever is in the air this month with an adventurous programme of whisky tastings and events happening on Speyside and Islay. We’ll be there, flying the Society flag and exploring what makes whiskies from these remarkable regions so great.

"Our excursion began with brandy butter over walnuts and five spice before visiting smoked marmalade with ginger and finally quince jelly."

A journey into joy

LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!
